It stars Brendan Sexton III, Shawn Elliot, L. M. Kit Carson, and Edie Falco.

At the 1997 Sundance Film Festival, the film won the Audience Award, Best Director Award, and Best Cinematography Award, making it the first film to ever win three awards at the festival. It was released by United Artists.
